GOOD!!!!!!!!
Let the doomage begin.
I just hope it is true. The corpse will not be buried easily.
o boy... on my way over to DU now to witness the carnage real-time...
This is only the beginning. On to November troops!!
Congratulations to Gov. Walker
The sooner SEIU and AFSCME are gone, the better for the taxpayers AND PUBLIC EMPLOYEES.
ED SCHULTZ:
“Where did the Democrats go wrong with all the cuts to education and all that?”
LMAO! School districts are saving millions *just* by not having to purchase teacher health-care from the teacher-union-owned health-care company — *THE* biggest, unreported scandal in this entire Wisconsin debate!
ED SCHULTZ = POS
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES with collective bargaining....SO unclear on the concept! Nice to see that Walker survived. May it send CLEAR messages to other states that are being strangled by unionized gubmint employees.
One can only hope. Leo Gerard musty be having a bad and busy night right now. Gerard essentially owns Obama and OWS, he is a global unionist and worth googling. He advocates union violence.
It will be interesting to see how the union thugs react to this. As with a petulant child, it will not be pretty.
November is going to be good if we unite and keep up the fight.
Let me figure this out....
The government worker’s union is protecting the workers from their employers?
The employers are elected governors & legislatures?
The governors and legislatures are elected by voters?
Oh I see, so they need a union to protect them against the entire voting public!!!
Now I get it! Never mind that the average earnings of government workers are $89k+, while the private sector workers earn $68k.
Public Service doesn't mean you're to be serviced by the public for life
President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10998, allowing Federal unions, is what opened the door for public sector unions at the state and local level, which is leading to bankruptcy from bloated public sector salaries, benefits, and retirement plans. Businesses that offered plans like many governments have would go bankrupt. Gov’t entities will, too, eventually, but it will be much more painful.
This is why unions should again be outlawed for public employees.
When collective bargaining was brought into American schools in the 1960s, it was a revenue stream and power base for Big Labor. Suddenly, union bosses became more interested in building political muscle than educating children.
At that point the battle between unions and school boards became more focused on salary, benefits, pensions and working conditions for adults, and less about students.
Kids are only pawns in the self-serving union game.
What is the purpose of teacher unions? To work for children? Establish new and better requirements? Push their members to better serve parents and children?
"Despite what some among us would like to believe, it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children. And it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees" ...National Education Association's just-retired General Counsel Bob Chanin. (The NEA is the County and State Association's parent body).
NEA General Counsel Bob Chanin Says Farewell:
As legendary New York teachers union leader Albert Shanker said, "When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children."
All government unions should be banned. The idea that government workers need protection from guess who?? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, is ridiculous. remember, teachers are government employees. Ban government unions.

“Today, Greece sets the example of what happens when public sector unions gain the upper hand.”
In the book Boomerang by Michael Lewis, he reveals that in Greece the retirement age for men is 55 and women is 50. Public sector pensions can be passed down to your children when you die.
Taxes are not collected on election years.
Tax fraud is common but if tax cheats are caught they just offer the collector a bribe.
It would be cheaper to put all Greek travels in taxis instead of the railroad since the salaries for railroad workers are so high. It costs 700 million Euros to run the rail roads but they only bring in 100 million Euros.
How I wish that were true.
On Wisconsin.
Tonight, we are all Badgers!
“Governor Walker’s Victory Spells Doom For Public Sector Unions”
I will NEVER have any faith or happiness in headlines like this.
Went through unbridled joy at Reagan’s second term election only to see it all fade. Really believed we had achieved something in ‘94 when we took the House and Senate, only to see the bent one allowed another four years to infest the White House. After Sept 11 I really thought the country had learned and turned - but found out the hard way that it hadn’t.
One thing I have learned is to never underestimate the determination liberal scumbags, nor how gullible the sheeple are when it comes to liberal BS.
I'm so f@&#ing tired of the anti-Obama bullshit in this f@&#ing place.
I think I'll go visit somewhere much more sane like Free Republic.
This has been a hell of a night, hasn’t it? I would love to eventually see the country as “Right to Work”.
I went in to DU to see the heads explode ( I wasn’t disappointed) and I was randomly selected to be on their stupid little “Jury” to help decide whether a particular post was too offensive to remain in a thread. I participated in my own form of disruption. FUN FUN FUN!!
I am really a happy girl tonight!!
....the President of the United States will start whitening his hair to appear to look like an older, wiser elder statesman to gain acceptance to his electorate!!!
..... Yup ...... Watch the color of his hair, this will be funny.....
..... it will become greyer and greyer (or grayer LOL} in the next few weeks ....
You know that Seuss story about the Grinch and his heart growing two times its size, when he figured out some truth?
I had this flash of other Republican governors growing something two times their size after this whooping of public sector unions, and democrat’s shrinking.
Ok, that’s really lame.
But you get the idea.
